The Town That Dreaded Sundown Page #6

---

- And now?

- I work at the archives. Researcher.

I found you some really cool stuff

from back when they were making the movie.

You know, some of those people

are still around.

- No college?

- Just making some money first.

- Family?

- Grandma.

My parents moved to Denton last year,

so I'm living with some buddies.

- I'll be in in a minute, okay?

- All right.

Sorry about that. You want to sit down?

You know, they did tons

of research for the movie.

The director and his son.

Thanks for bringing me this stuff.

Yeah.

Can I ask why

you're helping me with all this?

I always wanted to talk to you.

Why didn't you?

Didn't think I'd get very far.

I never saw you with a...

boyfriend or friends or...

I asked around and...

I was like, "What's her story?"

- Then someone told me about...

- About my parents?

Or...

that for the last seven years

I've been totally out of it and...

Both.

My parents didn't really move to Denton.

I just said that 'cause...

I didn't want your grandma

to think I was this... you know,

basket case.

Which, of course,

now I really seem like one.

Where are they?

Well, my dad killed himself last year.

He was an... an alcoholic, and...

my mom... kinda...

She just got lost after that.

She's at Trans-Allegheny.

Well, it's a loony bin.

Oh, hey...

they're having a vigil

tonight at the school. For...

the soldier and his girlfriend.

And for Corey.

You wanna go?

You don't mean that fellow

they call the Lone Wolf

- of the Texas Rangers?

- That's right.

Since I'm in charge of this investigation,

things are gonna have to be handled my way.

We got a cold-blooded killer here.

A man who nobody sees.

A Phantom who... so far

hasn't made any mistakes.

What are you doing?

No, please, don't hurt me.

Please.

I guess it was crazy of me to think

I could help the police,

but I'm gonna keep researching.

Keep writing.

Their stories need to be told, so...

- Arrest him.

- On the ground!

He killed Danny.

But I got him. I got his ass!

- Jami.

- No! No, Nick...

Wait! No! I need to know!

Excuse me. May I, please?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Sheriff Underwood has just informed me

that the man who killed Corey Holland,

the man who killed, viciously, that couple,

that man has been shot, I'm told.

And I don't know what his condition is,

but I do know that no one else was hurt.

And that that, finally, is something

that we can give thanks for.

Reverend Cartwright,

would you please lead us

in a brief prayer of gratitude?

Sweet Heavenly Father,

we have been delivered.

We praise the men and women

who have led us through this darkness.

Sweet Jesus, thank you for your mercy.
